The current proposed location for House of Hope Recovery Center is situated on site at St. Francis Episcopal Mission in San Bernardino, CA. Facilities at this center allow for a forty-patient treatment unit in a residential setting, which can be expanded to eighty patients. As such, this facility is projected to have an initial staff of 20 with an annual operating budget of approximately $5 million. It is projected that outreach clinics for outpatient follow-up counseling and for intake will be located in LA, San Bernardino and San Diego Counties. Expansion could lead eventually to the creation of over 100 new jobs in San Bernardino. Given the economic multiplier factor of this number of new jobs and income spent locally, it can be eventually projected that up to 200 new jobs in the county would be created.  The project is presently raising funds for the initial build of the Recovery Campus. The QRT (Quick Response Team) model of Huntington, WV, provides an excellent model of inter-agency cooperation that is achieving amazing results.

The center will also develop working relationships with the San Bernardino County Drug Court, the county sheriff’s office and the state police to divert, where possible those suffering from opioid addiction into treatment.  The center will become an integral part of the health system in this underserved area of San Bernardino County.

This is a project of Forney Charities, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization chartered in California,

Now is time to confront the opioid crisis.  We know that recovery is possible. We know that American, California and San Bernardino County can do better.
